PHILADF.LPHIA. Nov. 28. In one of the fiercest football games seen on Franklin Field this yr. the Army vanquished tire Navy this afternoon by ll m orrt of to 4. a touchdown and a goal against a goal from the Held. Thirty thousand persons Haw the husky cadets conquer the sturdy mid Khlpmen In a contest that never lagged. That the Navy boy" were surprised at the unexpected strength of the Army Is putting It mildly they were fairly overwhelmed with ths power shown by the cadets. The An napolis boys entered the came prac tically sure of victory, while the cadets only hoped to win. The Army's victory, notwithstanding: th. .ir.riih shown, was due more to a misjudged punt hy one cf the Navy'a backs than to the good work of the teams, but It took advantage of the mlsplay 'and " lost no opportunity in making the score. The Navy's four points, however, were earned by hard and constant playing. "Team Kxciily Matched. The bams were a. evenly matched aa it was possible to make them. The defensive ploying ot both was all thai could be desired, so powerful, in fact, that neither team could make much im pression on Us opponent's line, and, In consequence they both played a kick ing game. There was more punting in today's game than had been seen on Franklin Field this season. As was the case with the big college games for the year, the contest brought out little that was new. Two forward passes and two on-slde kicks were the only so-called modern plays attempted and of these only one for ward pasa by the Navy was successful. Many IMMinguishod Spectators. -The day was ideal for football and a brilliant crowd was out to see the fray, (in tlx. south stand, the Army side. Sec retary of War Wright entertained a 'arse party, while directly opposite, on the Navy side. Acting Secretary ot the Navy Newnerry had a large number of guests. Prominent in Mr. Wright's box were Rep resentative and Mrs. Longworth. ' As sistant Secretary of War Oliver saw the game with a -party from a box adjoining that of Mr. Wright. Mis' Ethel Roose velt cast her' fortunes with the Navy, and had a s-at in the enclosure reserved for Mr. and Mrs. Newerry.

Securing the hall on an exchange of kicks, it worked by good line-bucking to the Army s 27-yard line, where the bail was fumbled by Clay and lost. The Army Immediately punted out of danger, hut the Navy came back with a tine exhibition of of fensive playing. I'netrlrgly the ball was carried forward by Lunge, who ran I'll yards, by Clay and more often by Richardson, until it was inside the 10 yard line. Here tile Army braced and. having four yards to gain to make tho tirst down, the Navy decided to try a Held goal, w hich proved easy for Lange from the K-ya:d line. During the re mainder of the half little was accom plished by either team, though both played hard to get "within striking dis tance of the opponent's goal. Navy on lefcnie. In the tirsl half of the second period of play tiie bail was always In the Navy territory. Annapolis would try the ltr.e and then kick to midrteld.

The same tactics were employed, each side kicking the ball after one or two tries at carrying it. It was at this period of tiie game that the only ..successful forward pass was made. The hall was tossed by Lange. who used his left arm and the play gaincd only 10 yards.

The Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club basketball team defeated the Pa cine College rive from New-berg last night by the one-sided score of 43 to S. The Newberg lads were apparently afTected by their hard game against the Y. M. C. A. Friday and showed very little class. Barton, for Multnomah, distinguished himself by tossing two baskets from lite center of the floor.' while the work of Dent at forward was surprisingly good. His snap and vigor were the features of the contest, and he tossed 12 out of the 14 fouls allowed Multnomah. A tine crowd was in attendance, among whom were a number of ad mirers of Pacific College, who en deavored to cheer the "visiting kid to victory. However, the speed of Mult nomah and the hard game of the night before told on the visiting lads, and they were completely outplayed. The teams lined up as follows: Pacific College. Position.

Jeff today wired Battling: Nel son asking if lie would n(cet the little Englishman in a 45-round battle, a $50oo bet accompanying match. At the same time lie wired Packey McFarland offering him the same match. Nelson received tile message witli pleasure. "Well, it looks good.' said Bat. "hut I must say no. 1 have my book to finish and cannot stop now. If Kreddio is still a caid out West In February, 1 will be only too pleased to sign." M. Karland looked at it in a different light.

Schreeder is very much disappointed in losing Lynch, but could not see his way to pay the high salary.. Before signing the contract Lynch inserted a clause whereby he is to have absolute control in running the team, and Dug dale is to devote himself solely to the financial end.

Cal Ewing's Promises Fail to Materialize in State ' League. OUTLAWS STILL DIVIDED Nothing Doing Cntil Johnson and Pulliam Reach Coast Welsh- Attell Fight a 'Surprise Rac ing Game Is Declining. BT HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Nov. 28. (Special.) The baseball fans of Cali fornia are waiting for something to happen in a baseball way. Cal Ewing has been promising things, but so far has taken no steps that have been an nounced, and no one knows just what will be done with reference to the Cali fornia State League. The outlaws, as they are popularly known, are divided. San Jose and Stockton are bitterly op posed to entering organized baseball, and Fresno is on" the fence. Sacra mento is in favor of, organized ball, and some of the other towns don't know just what they want. John I. Taylor, the' Boston American League owner, said tiie other day that it had been decided to let matters stand as they are until Ban Johnson and Harry Pulliam reach the Coast. Although Ewlng was presumed to have the authority, it is evident Hhat the state leaguers want to treat with the big guas, to see Just what will be the concessions that they are to receive. Whatever tomes, it looks very much at if California will have to be con tented with a four-team schedule, in stead of six. as should be the case. It will be a disappointment to the fans, who are certainly entitled to better treatment at the hands of the Coast League for the support they have ac corded baseball here. Nothing Dlng. Taylor leaves shortly for the annual meeting of his league In New York, but will return around the Christinas holidays, when it is expected that he will be accompanied by Johnson and Pulliam. There will doubtless be nothing stirring until that time. The Portland fans have had the same news in regard to the Reach All Americans as has San Francisco, so they know all about the successive victories of Mike Fisher's team, in the Orient. Evidently baseball In Japan Is still In a somewhat crude stage. Hi Baggerly. writing to his paper from Honolulu, told of the trip that far and said that among those sick was Babe Danzig, of Portland. The Babe was In a bad way for a short time, but when he revived nearly ate the ship out of house and home. So Dan zig probably got a world of enjoyment out of his trip, even though he, waa sick for the first three or four days out of port. Welsh a Surprise. The victory of Freddie Welsh over Abe Attell in Los Angeles the other night was something of a surprise to local fight fans, who had expected to see Abe tear in and make a grand fight. He did nothing of the kind, but covered up and depended on his clev erness to win. The little Englishman, however, proved . to be an offensive fighter on his own account, and the way. he opened up on Attell is what won for him the de.cision. Doubtless his extra weight helped him. Of course. Abe does not lose the feather weight title, as this was not involved, the weight being 1.10 pounds. He will also have that handicap as an excuse for his defeat. Foxy Attell' He al ways has an excuse at hand for himself. The Australian papers, just received here tell of the double defeat of Joe Orim. the Iron Man of Philadelphia. in. kangaroo land.

RICH STRIKE IN THE CARDINAL A bi', rich, new strike has just been made in the Cardinal mining property in the Burnt River Mountains, 13 miles south of Baker City, believed to be one of the greatest true fissure veins ever discovered. The vein is 60 feet wide on the apex and carries a full i7-foot free "old pay streak, tracing 700 feet along the eourse of the vein. Many other rich strikes have been made from time to time on the property during the past few years, but none of such incomparable magnitude and richness. ' This rich new strike was made above the coarse gold placer mines at the head of Stice's Gulch in the. Eldorado claim belonging to the Cardinal Gold Mining Company, of Baker City, Oregon. A cross-cut on the apex 4 feet deep shows values from $7.11 up to $92.60 in abso lutely free gold, while picked samples at a depth of 15 feet mortars and pans as high as 80 cents per pound. Stair-stepping and cross-cutting at various points on the vein leave no room for doubt. . An oblique cross-cut tunnel has been driven 160 feet at the foot of the ridge the vein crosses and is now within a few yards of the vein itself, and less than 250 feet lengthwise of the vein from the immense pay chute recently discovered. This tunnel will give approxi mately 300 feet of vertical depth, and with no further improvement in values than shown at the surface will yield several million dollars in gold without sinking a foot vertically. There are many other immense talc veins on the property, which it is now confidently believed are just as good as the big new strike,, which will be producing gold bullion just as soon aS the ore can be blocked out and machinery for milling it installed. Many of the stockholders have perhaps not been fully advised of the magnitude of the Cardinal" mining property, which is beyond doubt one of the most extensive, values consid ered in the great mineral zone of Eastern Oregon, Nevada and Idaho, consisting of 23 quartz and three valuable coarse gold placer claims, making upward of 500 acres; in one compact bodv. which entirely aside from the rich strike recently made, bears many other immense ore veins of just as promising character, assuring well nigh inexhaustible bodies of rich, free gold ore. Our first discovery in this favored region was made in May, 18!)2, and now, after more than 16 years of labor and discovery, our continued persistence and your unswerving confi dence is about to be rewarded royally, with every assurance of many times greater values as depth is attained. Take our advice: DON'T SELL YOUR STOCK. Such magnificent opportunities come but once in a lifetime. DON'T SELL AT ANY PRICE. Better increase your holding while you can, as we sftill have a small amount more to offer below par, solely to hasten completion of the big working tunnel now well under way, block out the ore and install milling machinery for the extraction ot the (Continued next Wednesday.) been heard of his fights. The first was a 20-round battle with a heavy weight named George Stirling. Grim acted the clown, and while the ritirs say that Stirling was entitled to the decision, there was no very wide mar gin between them. Outpointed by Cripps. The second fight came a week later, on October 14. when Arthur Cripps easily outpointed Grim. It is to be trusted that the Australian did not take Grim as a type of the American boxer. However, there is not much danger of that, for Tommy Burns is in the same part of the country, and he certainly can show them the class. The results- of two auction sales held at the Emeryville paddock of racers is the best evidence that the racing game is to the bad. The prices paid ranged from 40 to J100 for very good stock, which either shows that money is tight or that racehorses are not considered the best Investment in the world. In fact, the season so far has been far from comparing with other years. There are less books doing business and some of the bookmakers tell me that they are not handling'the money they did even a year ago, when clearing-house certificates were in use. SOME DOX'TS FOIt MOTORISTS Common-Sense Advice on Etiquette and Other Things. A few common-sense don'ts that mo torists will do well In adhering to are as follows: Don't lose your temper if you drop a nut in the undershield. Remember there are others there, probably the one you were replacing. Don't. becaus3 a policeman smilea, im agine him to be an old friend, although you may have cause to remember him later. Don't treat your chauffeur as an acces sory. Remember he will last longer than your car. if used properly. Don't give your ' chauffeur 20 minutes to catch a train 20 miles away and com plain of $25 and costs. Don't, after you have paid the fine, think that you are entitled to drive any faster. Don't think that it la the brightness of your car that dazzles the pedestrians aa you pass. That is not so. It's simply the dust In their eyes. Don't splash the mud over the dress of the lady who is walking. Dresses are very expensive; besides it might be your own wife. Don't laugh at a small car's efforts when you pass it; remember the tortoise and tlss hare. OLYMPIC ATHLETES COMING Men W ho Won Fame in London to Compete at Seattle. SEATTLE, Wash.. Nov. 28. (Special.) America's famous athletes on track and field and aquatics will be seen in com petition in this city next year, according to the news brought from New York by William lnglis, superintendent of the Se attle Athletic Club, who has returned from his trip to the annual meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union. With the awarding of the national championships at Seattle during the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition the American Athletic Union declared Its in tention of booming the games by every means in Its power. Captain lnglis said: "On every hand I was assured of splen did participation in the national cham pionships. The big clubs, of course, will send their world-famous members, such as Melvln. Sheppard, Flanagan, the weight throwers; Rose.' Carpenter. Por ter and others. In fact, practically all the Americans who won fame at the international games at London last Sum mer will come to Seattle." Drops Charge Against Nazarro. SAVANNAH. Ga., Nov. 28. Herr Neu myer, a director of the Benz Automobile Company, who preferred charges against Felice Nazarro, the driver of a Fiat car, who won third place In the grand priza automobile race on Thanksgiving v day, withdrew them today at a meeting of the contest committee of the Automobile Club of America. It was alleged that Nazarro had received outside assistance in put ting on a tire during the race and was thus disqualified. The withdrawal of the charge is equivalent to an exoneration.

CARDINAL VIA BAKER CITY, OREGON. GOSSIP FOR F Items of Interest About Sports and Sportsmen. RUSS HALL SEEKING BERTH Entrance of Portland to Northwest ern League Leaves Him Out lu Cold Papke and Ketchel to Be Rematched. BY TV. J. PETRAIX. With two baseball teams in Portland next year the chiropodist and the bal ance of the bugs will have plenty to do all Summer. In fact, all sufferers from corns will be regaled with the latest baseball gossip from now until the season opens, and after that they can seek relief elsewhere. "Cupid" Dugdale. the Seattle baseball impresario, is so tickled at the pros pect of having Portland allied with the Northwestern circuit once again chat he is going to retire from active man agement of the Seattle team, and watch the baseball games from the grand stand. Dug is reported to have cap tured Jack McCarthy. the former Brooklyn and Cleveland outfielder, to handle the flwashes. while he will de vote his time entirely to counting the money. Russ Hall wants a berth in the Northwestern League. Hard luck. Russ. but perhaps he will remember his action in the Winter of 1907. Some persens finally get their deserts, al though it takes time for Justice 'to get into action. Hall is now trying to con vince the Northwestern people that he is .the logical man to handle the Aber deen club, but as Andy Anderson has been offered the job, it looks as though Russ was out in the cold. " Battling, etc.. Nelson is to be an Alderman from the Hegewiseh district in Chicago. If Abe Ruef had continued in power in San Francisco there might have been a chance for Abe Attell, while there is still a chance for John L. Sullivan in Boston. John L. fre quently throws a scare into the Bean town political circles by threatening to run for Mayor. -Such is the fame of the prize-fighter! Ed Schiller. George Bills and Buck Keith are exceiiei-t conversationalists. In fact, the "conversation" geese they kill each week have all previous per formances of Munchausen beaten yards Hard Coughs We publish the complete formulas of all our medicines. We are proud of them. We have nothing to conceal ; no secrets to hide. Avers Cherry Pectoral REVISED FORMULA i " If your doctor fully endorses your taking Ayer's Cherry Pectoral for your hard cough, then buy it and use it. If he does not, then do not take a single dose of it. He knows all about this splendid medicine for coughs and colds. We have no secrets! We publish the formulas of all our medicines. j c. AYER CO., ManufactnringOierm5 MINES and yards. Now that Thanksgiving day is past the conversation hunters will not be so prominent - for a while. They will retire until the Christmas holidays approach; then well, what's the use? "We don't get any geese, any way." Dr. B. F. Roller, of Seattle, the wrestling physician of Elliott Kay. re cently announced his retirement from the grappling game and intimated that he would take up fighting in the future. However, now that Eddie O'Connell. of the Multnomah Club of Portland has been tossing a few wrestlers recently, the Seatttle "saw bones" has visions of sundry shekels by getting a match with the Port lander. O'Connell wi.l probably not refuse to give the Seattle man a go. although he weighs but 145 pounds. while Roller tips the beam at almost 200. Looks like a one-sided match, but O'Connell thinks he can toss the other fellow. Efforts are already being made to rematch Billy Papke and his recent conqueror. Stanley Ketchel. Nothing unusual in tills, for it is the regular procedure of all scrappers of the presr ent day. and they can be expected to meet again shortly after the first of the year. However, much mystery surrounds the failure to rematch Joe Gan-s and Battling Nelson. Such over sight on the part . of the California fight promoters' should not be for given, at least not by. the scrapper themselves. - The irrepressible Miquel Fisher and his balltossers are meeting with con siderable success in the Orient. While they met with a reversal at the hands of a real baseball team before sailing, they are now coming into their own by cleaning up the Japs and the Chi nese. Incidentally the crowds are said to be quite large, and on that account we can presume that Fisher and the bunch will eat regularly. At any rate Mike will, and let us hope that Danzig and Graney will have as good luck. Basketball and bowling will now hold the boards for a time. Both are indoor sports and enjoy popularity in certain circles, although they are en titled to better patronage than has been evidenced in the past. Basket ball is growing in popularity and the teams placed In the field by the Y. M. C. A. and Multnomah Club will serve to add to the popularity of this game. The Lincoln High School, of Seattle, is laying claim to the high school championship- of the Pacific North west. The Lincoln team has played the West Side High School team, of Portland, and scored over that team by a 5 to 2 score. The Seattle lads defeated the Salem High School, 23 to 14. Salem was defeated here by the East Side High School by one touch down, and the East Side team lost to Hill by two touchdowns. Yet Seattle refuses to play Hill Military Academy, and sets up the claim that. Hill is -not a high school team. Rather a poor excuse, and looks more like cold feet than anything else. Seattle always did have queer ideas on sportsmanship. 11 I I
